OT: baseball stats are out of control
From ESPN, and no this is not a parody.
Left-handed Royals are 1-for-20 with 12 strikeouts this postseason in at-bats to end in offspeed pitches in the lower third of the zone or below. Eric Hosmer is 0-for-9 with five strikeouts against such pitches this postseason.
Royals righties hit just .199 in at-bats to end in a changeup from a right-handed pitcher, third worst in the AL. Ryan Vogelsong allowed a .178 average in at-bats that ended in a changeup to right-handed hitters; he allowed a .397 average in similar pitches to left-handed hitters.
